It has to go through the whole dump to restore one file. Same thing as if you used tar. Both were originally designed to be written to tape. So if you want to restore single files you should look for another solution. I like to use rsync a lot for that. cheers, michael _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
